Matthew Tkachuk collected one goal and two assists, while Rasmus
Andersson and Blake Coleman also scored for the Flames.
Goaltender Jacob Markstrom made 28 saves in a strong outing.
Sam Bennett replied for the Panthers, who saw their four-game
winning streak snapped and lost in regulation for the first time
in 10 games. Goalie Spencer Knight stopped 26 shots.
Andersson's first goal of the season gave the struggling Flames
the much-needed first strike at the 4:36 mark. After his first
rebound attempt was denied, Andersson continued to the slot for
a second chance and buried the power-play goal to snap his
scoring drought at 38 games, dating back to last season.
Coleman doubled the lead with his third goal in five games and
seventh of the season at 11:36 of the opening frame. He was on
the spot at the side of the net to bury the loose puck to finish
an excellent shift.
Bennett, who spent parts of seven campaigns with the Flames
before being traded last season, notched his 16th goal of the
season during his first game back in Calgary. He put the
visitors on the board past the midway point of the second
period, but the hosts pulled away shortly after.
Monahan collected Calgary's second man-advantage marker of the
night when he deflected Gaudreau's point shot at 16:03 of the
second period to restore a two-goal edge.
Tkachuk showed off his deflection skills by redirecting a
thigh-high pass as he skated to the net for his 17th goal of the
season at 3:47 of the third period.
Monahan notched his second of the night and sixth of the season
three minutes later by teaming with Tkachuk to steal the puck
and then finishing a pretty three-way passing play that also
included Gaudreau on the ensuing rush.
